Epic continues their quick patching of Unreal Tournament 3 with the second update to beta patch v1.01. If the updates continue at this rate, I wouldn’t mind if the patch stays in beta forever. The patch includes many important fixes and tweaks but no new major features.
There is no download link; this is due to Epic’s request not to spread links to the beta patches. For now, all you get to do is preview it.
